I'm currently working on poetic metaphor, both in theory (my dissertation) and practice (my debut novel "studies of the colour indigo").
Always open for an exchange of ideas :)

Maybe if you toy around with an idea at high stakes and don't want accountability. Imagine e.g. being an astronomer in the 16th century and your observations suggest something that is in tension with church doctrine but you're so excited that you still want to share it but you also want to live

We need to study philosophy because our deepest beliefs are by necessity philosophical in nature and if we don't philosophy, we are like flies in a fly trapped glued to the beliefs of the culture we've been enculturated with.

Wow, it's incredible that there were archaic oceans covering nearly the whole planet's surface, since this is a mytheme often found in creation myths (such as the earth-diver myth found in native american and native north asian mythologies)
